Ning Zhi looked at her little storage. She had only 4 little suns remaining. She had spent a total of 36 little suns during her last trip.

The little suns didn’t go very far.

Ning Zhi summoned Overlord. “How many little suns will I need for my next trip?”

She had already mentally prepared herself that with each trip, she would be needing even more little suns.

Overlord told her cautiously: [Host, you will need 50 little suns next time.]

Ning Zhi gasped. Hot dang! Straight up 20 more little suns!

Hearing Mother Lu urging Lu Jue to blow out the candles, Ning Zhi leaned into Lu Jue’s ear and taught him, “Xiao Juejue, close your eyes, make a wish, then blow out the candles.”

Ning Zhi wooed him. “That way your birthday wish will come true.”

Lu Jue blinked.

He closed his eyes under everyone’s gaze.

Mother and Father Lu and even Lu Shenyuan and the butler standing nearby all heard Lu Shao making his birthday wish for a change.

Lu Jue’s voice was low and dull. He said slowly, “Not disappear, Strange Big Sister.”

The principal of the school located Song Jinshang and the beauty queen and had contacted their parents to meet him at their school.

The school’s stance was to deal with the incident severely and Song Jinshang and the beauty queen’s parents started placing blames on each other.

“Our Xiao Ting had always been a good girl. She would never have done such a thing if she wasn’t led down the wrong path by someone else.” The mother of the beauty queen quickly spoke up for her daughter.

Song Jinshang’s mother had on a very presentable dress suit and looked very powerful. “If your daughter is as good as you say she is, she would not have seduced my son.”

Ning Zhi had expected that Song Jinshang and the beauty queen would just start to kiss before exchanging a word. In fact, the two seemed very passionate and excited through the lens.

Ning Zhi must admit that they were bold.

It was pitch black in front of Lu Jue’s eyes and he couldn’t see anything. The only sensation that he had was the familiar fragrance in his nose.

Ning Zhi whispered into his ear, “Stop blinking. You are making my palm itch.”

The long and straight lashes fanned her palm slightly.

Lu Jue blinked a few more times and Ning Zhi’s palm itched even more.

That little brat. He did that on purpose!

Ning Zhi looked over in the direction that the girls were looking at after she heard their excited discussion.

Standing by the door was Huo Xiaoyang in his senior high school uniform, looking decorous and handsome where he was.

His legs were fine.

Ning Zhi was a bit surprised. That meant he had some sort of an accident later on that put him in a wheelchair?

What a bummer to have someone as outstanding as him to be wheelchair bound?

Ning Zhi was dazed when, suddenly, she felt a warm breath falling on her ear.

Lu Jue lowered his head and said nothing.

He docilely got off the couch but he did not return to his bed. Instead, he stood up straight in front of the couch, as though he was instructed to, with his red pillow in his hands, guarding her.

He looked as pitiful as a person could look.

Ning Zhi suddenly had a false impression that she had bullied him.

“Go back to sleep on your bed.” Ning Zhi repeated herself.

Lu Shao continued to stand there, dazed and motionless with his pillow in his arms.

Looking at the pitiful big boy, Ning Zhi’s jaws tightened and finally said, “Alright, I’ll sleep in bed with you.” She sure as heck did not want to squeeze into the couch with him.
